Anubis Virus Major Announcement (Pay Attention and Spread This if You Are Following This Channel)
If you are an Android user, you need to scan your device to ensure that you have not been compromised by a potent virus called the 'Anubis' virus.
This virus has the ability to render 2FA void via a MITM (man-in-the-middle) attack.
In addition, this virus could even render certain encryptions (i.e., DSAs like ECDSA) via a timing attack.
This virus is extremely sophisticated and it is targeting blockchain users specifically.
Make sure that you read this report. This was put out with particular urgency because it does not appear that this has been covered in the blockchain sphere at all for some reason. There are numerous cybersecurity experts in other sectors of this tech space that have written about this virus (including ZDnet as recently as this month).

Targeted Blockchain Applications
To be specific, the term, ‘targets’ (in reference to the below listed financial & blockchain applications) does not mean that the entities listed are being attacked directly. The entity that has been compromised in this situation is the infected user device.
However, the virus does not become active until the user decides to visit one of these sites (edit: it more than likely is also collecting information from infected users before they visit any of the targeted sites). The virus is programmed to execute its script remotely to begin extracting details from users as soon as they visit these sites by using one of the many methods that was listed in the previous message. Thus, the virus is ‘targeting’ certain sites as the platforms that they wish to infiltrate via compromising the platform’s users first.
